Changelog for v0.4.2:

Version 0.4.2: "Gang Capture, Servant Submission and Optimization":

Gang Capture:

• Viper is now part of the Ronda Gang faction as the manager of the hostel and lives in one of the rooms.
• Viper's gender can now be selected
• New capture scenes when the Ronda gang dislikes the player, with a public auction to prostitute them
• New public humiliation and public bondage sex scenes in the slums
• Special scenes when the gang recognizes players as members of rival factions
• Viper and other gang members will demand special services from kidnapped players at the end of the day. Players can earn Viper's trust.
• New scenes where captured players are used by gang members: Canning, Breath Play, Needle Play (Viper), and Triple Penetration.
• Added new stances to all three hotel capture gangbang scenes and eight hostel prostitution scenes. Added orgasm sequences and reorganized text.
• Players can explore the hostel and its rooms. There are three floors (besides the lobby) and 15 rooms. Several NPCs have been relocated to live in these rooms.
• Exploring the hostel and trying to break into rooms has a chance of being kidnapped.
• Escaping while being kidnapped in the hostel is now more difficult.
• At trust > 30, Viper will release players who agree to work the streets as prostitutes for him.
• Players working for Viper can safely prostitute themselves, but must pay him 10 silver per week.
• Working as a prostitute in Rat's Corner without being a member of the Ronda gang now has a chance of being kidnapped.
• Failure to pay Viper will result in capture if the player enters the Western Slums again.
• Encountering members of the Ronda Gang while working for Elekra (Thulle Deviants) will now cause the player to be marked as a deviant by the gang.

Servant Submission:

• Cafe owner gender can be selected at startup (Andrew, becomes Andriana if female)
• New strap-on scenes with Andriana
• The waiter/waitress bukkake at the coffee shop now allows new stances, has cum play scenes, and involves members of the Ronda gang.
• New triple penetration scene while working at the coffee shop (Town militia)
• Two new public group punishment scenes when daily work has been particularly bad. Can be avoided with Evasion, Fighting, or Social Skill checks.
• Public humiliation where players are forced to count the number of slaps they receive (can be avoided by passing several consecutive Control skill checks).
• Public humiliation, where players are forced to open their mouths while the crowd spits on them (can be resisted with a Control check)Resisting prolongs the torture, but mitigates reputation debuffs and fetish effects.
• Three new scenes in which Andrew pimps the player from Submission > 50 (the gender of the clients can be filtered with the Align Sexual Orientation toggle): cock worship, anal training, and strap-on sex.
• At Submission > 50 and Feminization Fetish > 20 or Femininity > 20, Andrew will now give feminization cocktails to players of any gender (previously only if players had a penis).
• At Submission > 60 and Feminization Fetish > 50 or Femininity > 50, Andrew will give breast enhancement cocktails to players of any gender.
• At Submission > 80, Andrew and Feminization Fetish > 70, players with penises will give players with penises cocktails to shrink their penis until it's tiny (won't remove it).
• Increased the chance of Andrew demanding sexual services after work
• The chance of getting tips while working at the coffee shop is now chance based instead of checking a hard skill limit, making it more likely.
• It's now possible to use a computer in the coffee shop for two e-coins.

Game Optimization:

• Early game area transitions now take 30% of the time they used to.
• Late game area transitions now take about 10% of the time they used to.
• Cheats menu now takes much less time to load (<10% of what it used to)
• Relationships menu now takes much less time to load (<10% of what it used to)
• NPC and player data is now handled in memory instead of local memory.
• Restructured the object structure of state effects to optimize their reading
• Effect modifiers are only calculated once per step to reduce delays.
• Game now maintains dynamic lists of looted loot boxes and relevant NPCs in the Relationship and Faction menus to avoid looping through all items.
• Manual saves are now stored using IndexedDB instead of localStorage to avoid hitting the 5MB limit in most browsers.
• All old save files are automatically moved to IndexedDB the first time the save menu is opened, so they are still accessible
• Autosaves and a small header of manual saves remain in LocalStorage.

Other stuff:

• Players can now ask players to suck their strap-on as a dominance act
• Being caught cheating by an NPC now also removes the "in love" relationship tag
• Certain body changes (breast size, certain heights) now also affect the player's base masculinity/femininity.
• Members of Thulle and Thulle Deviants will no longer let players "crash" with them, instead inviting them to join those factions.
• Requesting silver from an NPC will now remove it from their inventory, limiting the number of times it can be done.
• The stats menu no longer shows effects that have a 0 effect on every stat.
• Peeing on Rebecca now increases her water sports fetish.
• More items can be added using the "Add Item" cheat command.
• Reorganized West Street building numbers and minimap
• Small style changes to the buttons in actions related to using computers to give them more of a computer feel.
• It's no longer possible to browse the Synapse network or access your email during blackouts.
• New restaurant job that pays silver based on service task skill. Requires a high skill to get tips, but it's compatible with working in the coffee shop and helps increase the Service Tasks skill.
• Guards now strip players naked when they return to work at the brothel
